Safety Precautions
CAUTION
• Do not expose plants or animals directly to air
fl
ow from the unit as this may cause adverse effects.
• Do not place appliances that produce naked
fl
ames in places exposed to the air
fl
ow from the unit as this may impair
combustion of the burner.
• Do not block air inlets nor outlets. Impaired air
fl
ow may result in insuf
fi
cient performance or trouble.
• Do not sit on the outdoor unit, put things on the unit, or pull the unit. Doing so may cause accidents, such as falling or
toppling down, thus resulting in injury, product malfunctioning, or product damage.
• Do not place objects that are susceptible to moisture directly beneath the indoor or outdoor units. Under certain
conditions, condensation on the main unit or refrigerant pipes, air
fi
lter dirt or drain blockage may cause dripping,
resulting in fouling or failure of the object concerned.
• After prolonged use, check the unit stand and its mounts for damage. If they are left in a damaged condition, the unit
may fall and cause injury.
• To avoid injury, do not touch the air inlet or aluminium
fi
ns of the indoor or outdoor units.
• This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning
use of the appliance in a safe way and undestand the hazards involved.
• Children shall not play with the appliance.
• Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.
• Avoid impacts to the indoor and outdoor units, or otherwise product damage may result.
• Do not place
fl
ammable items, such as spray cans, within 1m of the air outlet.
The spray cans may explode as a result of hot air from the indoor or outdoor units.
• Be careful not to let pets urinate on the unit. Urination on the unit may result in electric shocks or
fi
re.
• Do not wash the unit with water, as this may result in electric shocks or
fi
re.
• Do not place water containers (vases etc.) above the unit, as this may result in electric shocks or
fi
re hazards.
• To avoid oxygen depletion, ensure that the room is adequately ventilated if equipment such as a burner is used
together with the unit.
• Before cleaning, be sure to stop unit operation, turn off the circuit breaker or remove the power cord. Otherwise, an
electric shock and injury may result.
• Only connect the unit to the speci
fi
ed power supply circuit. Power supplies other than the one speci
fi
ed may result in
electric shocks, overheating and
fi
res.
• Arrange the drain hose to ensure smooth drainage. Imperfect drainage may cause wetting of the building, furniture etc.
• Do not place objects in direct proximity of the outdoor unit and do not let leaves and other debris accumulate around
the unit. Leaves are a hotbed for small animals which can enter the unit. Once in the unit, such animals can cause
malfunctions, smoke or
fi
re when making contact with electrical parts.
• Do not place objects around the indoor unit.
Doing so may have an adverse in
fl
uence on the performance, product quality, and life of the unit.

Electrical work and System relocation.
• For power supply, be sure to use a separate power circuit dedicated to the unit.
• Relocating the unit requires specialized knowledge and skills. Please consult the dealer if relocation is necessary for
